You'd need a Cray for the computation if you showed him a picture of a mosque.

You could test your theory on Donald Trump - his eyes swivel a lot.

Very cool.  Brings to mind an experiment that I've wanted to do for a 
while.  Track the eye movement of people looking at photographs, then 
convert the signal to the frequency domain (FFT). Then see if there is 
any correlation between "pleasing compositions" and the presence of 
harmonics in the eye movement.
In other words, would an image that leads the eye around with a 
particular rhythm of the ocular movements tend to be considered more 
pleasing by a statistically relevant percentage of people, than an image 
that didn't lead the around in any "harmonious" pattern?
